This month we ask you to join us in pray for the following intentions:

Prayers of the Faithful

For the full reconciliation between all seperated spouses and the full restoration of their families. That their eyes be open to all they do wrong and that strength and courage be given to them to do what is right and necessary regardless of how difficult it may be. That all those things causing the seperation be removed from their lives. That all confusion, ill feelings be removed and replaced with pure love, understanding and compassion. That they will be blessed. - Anonymous
